M-chan...thanks for the reply. You will have to forgive me but you might need to hold my hand on this a little. I'm very new to diesels.
Is this the EBP sensor?
I don't see any other bracket connected to the thermostat other than this.

NOPE. That is the ECT sensor. But that picture just answered one of my questions. Since I see that there are bolts that secure the thermostat housing with no bracket on top, that tells me your truck is a late-build 2005 truck. This also means you have no MAF sensor (only an IAT #1) in the air cleaner housing.

As far as I am aware the STC fitting has not been replaced.
If I understand you correctly are you saying that it will be easier to diagnose the oil leak once it becomes a "bigger" issue?
I've read some posts about doing an air test. Is the air test just hooking an air compressor into the ICP hole and blowing?

That is perfectly normal. You will find that oil residue even on brand new trucks with the pipe removed.

Well then that is step #1 if it hasn't. If doing so is above your capability, pay someone to do it. Don't open up a can of worms if you have any doubts about attacking it yourself. What might be easy to me, might not be easy to you. Not trying to insult you. I do this for a living. I doubt I would be capable of doing what you do for a living.
A bigger issue is when it doesn't start at all when the engine is shut off at operating temperature, or close to it. But yes, it will likely be much easier to pinpoint when it reaches that point.
That is correct. You are introducing compressed air the the high pressure oil system and commanding IPR closed to pinpoint the location/source of the leak.

I'm just praying for his sake that he doesn't have a badly failed STC fitting that pushed into and cracked the rear engine cover to cause the external oil leak. Because if so, not only is the turbo coming out, but also the transmission as well, to replace that rear cover, not to mention the very expensive Ford/Rotunda rear main seal installer tool that will be needed to install the new rear main seal during the rear cover replace.

I appreciate all the help guys. She died on my way to work for the last time. I cranked on her and she wouldn't start. Pulled the ICP and she wouldn't start either. I looked under the truck and didn't see any oil on the bell housing either. I had her towed to the shop. Blade, m-chan, and Bismic thanks for the help. I watched some videos on the STC fitting and decided I didn't want to tackle that myself.
m-chan no worries you didn't insult me, I am a novice and I appreciate the straight forward no BS assessment. I will keep you guys updated about what the shop finds as the true problem. If it is the STC fitting, I'm going to have them replace the standpipes and dummy plugs as well.
Is there anything else I should do while they are down there?
Is this a good opportunity to do ARP studs? Or do they have to go significantly further to install those?
